ABSTRACT:
A remotely controllable camera system has a photodetector mounted in a camera housing and facing a front panel thereof. The photodetector detects an external optical command signal beam applied thereto through the front panel. The camera system also has an optical fiber for guiding an external optical command signal beam applied through a rear panel of the camera housing toward the photodetector. The external optical command signal beam is transmitted from an infrared remote controller which may be positioned in front of or behind the camera. The camera has an electrically controllable shutter that can be released in response to the external optical command signal beam detected by the photodetector.
